Community Tasting Note

• Callum's Corkers Likes this wine: 93 points

  September 8, 2022 - Bought £18.00 Waitrose Wine Direct Online, UK. 2022
  
  Screw cap. Chilled. No decant.
  
  N....oddly mute, or near it. A faint cut grass, a bit of damp green paddock.
  
  C....looks light-medium body, a good straw.
  
  T....an interesting SB, comes without the usual/tiresome NZ aggressive capsicum and intense gooseberry; has near-tropical fruit profile with funk, I liked it very much. Some wet hay, some sweet oak, a rounded and soft mouth-feel with juicy acid to balance; some saline too; some ripe citrus, some elderflower. More medium-dry than actual dry (the 'plus' is a small % of Riesling, I think I was reading somewhere). Good length of flavour.
  
  VFM?.....feels £25.00, costs £18.00....good value for money, will buy again.
